About
1978 Events was born out of Selectress Iriela’s record collection orbiting this magical year, sure enough on the back of her “Special Selections,” in small print would be the year: 1978 – no matter the genre. This inspired the series to launch in 2014 in Brooklyn with guests ranging from Sal P of Liquid Liquid to Natasha Diggs and legend BreakBeat Lou. Welcome to 1978 – that sweet spot where timeless music and club culture intersect on the dancefloor! Music is a feeling – not limited to one genre, era or style and above all catalyzes the human need to come together in dance and creative expression.
